I have a few questions concerning EU purchases and the VAT return and from looking online have got myself very confused.
This is my first time completeing a VAT return.
Our new company has purchased goods and services as follows.
EU VAT not charged as UK VAT number used.
EU VAT not charged as exempt or zero rated service, or supplier not vat registered in their country of trade.
EU VAT paid generally hotels and food purchases while in the country of payment.
Please can anyone clarify which boxes on the VAT return each of these instances should effect and how I should enter them on SAGE (Tax code and net values etc)? The HMRC website guide often just stats EU vat not paid due to having UK VAT number but we have many instances of paying EU VAT as well etc.
Thanks to anyone who can help or can point me towards a straightforward guide!
I can't help you with the sage codes, as I no longer use sage and I can't remember what the default codes are but:
EU VAT charged as UK AVT number used - This is under the reverse VAT charge mechanism.
I went the HMRC website to confirm the boxes, and came accross this page where you'll find links to pretty well every thing you asked about - or at least links to point you in the right direction.
